Global Community

The Mainitnon Spirit

We carry within us a sense of belonging and the rich nurturing we received from our families and the Philippine culture. We are proud immigrants who bring our best selves (our family values, aspirations, skills, and attitudes of participation) to contribute to the betterment of the societies we are immersed in. Just as importantly, we are grateful children of Mainit who continue to connect with Mainit in ways to help uplift the townspeople in their human and community development.
